Thread: Buffalo Trade
Let me unravel the back ground to this trade. 28th OA and Guhle for Montour, then Montour for Saad and 43rd OA. By coincidence the difference between the 43rd and 28th is just about the same as 43rd OA. So to completely decode the trade it is an early 2nd and Guhle for Saad.
Then going back in history, as I evaluate this trade, my mind is reminded that Saad was acquired for Panarin (we all know it was a bad trade). So as I contemplate this trade, I am bemused that it would be categorically rejected by Sabre fans. Buffalo is looking for a top 6 winger, this trade seems to solve that problem for about the same value that was used to acquire Skinner. It would be remarkable to obtain between 60 and 70 goals per year for 2 seconds and 2 low value prospects.
To all of the Chicago contributors, I think I made my case that this trade greatly favors the Sabres.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BHawks78</b></div><div>Becasue Botterill said that they will try to add some more scoring depth but said the trade route is more “realistic". A Saad-Eichel-Reinhart top line would be amazing for Buffalo.

Saad is still young (26) and for some dumb reason gets a bad wrap because he had one weak season in 2017-18.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SDSUFRATMAN</b></div><div>Hard pass from Buffalo. They need Dman and he is a quality RHD who is young were Saad is overpaid(my opinion) and didn’t look like himself at all last year</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mk458</b></div><div>Don't know why Buffalo does this. Also, why does Chicago want Montour, they already have too many RHD (Jokiharju, Boqvist, Seabrook, Murphy)</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Petrock83</b></div><div>Hawks also say no. This is bad for both sides. Thumbs down.</div></div>
